Hi Miel,
Welcome! My Dr. told me that phen is not physically addictive--that your body will not need it to function properly and you wouldn't get withdrawal symptoms like a heroine addict would not getting heroine. It can, however, become mentally addictive where you think you need it.

Lots of people never take a break, others when it seems to lose some of its effectiveness may break for a day or even a week, and some states I think have laws where you can only take it 3 mos. or so and then have to have a 6 month break or something similar. Find what your body is comfortable with. Why is your Dr. so nervous about it? Is your general health good? Good luck and take care of yourself.
